Kate Middleton has become one of the most searched characters in recent weeks. Since she underwent planned abdominal surgery last January, the Princess of Wales has not attended any public events, which is why many of her followers have been very concerned on social media.
This concern increased when, on March 10, Kensington Palace published an image of the English aristocrat with her children to congratulate Mother’s Day. Different Internet users and media outlets discovered that it was a photograph manipulated with Photoshop, which caused all the alarms to go off.
Faced with the discovery, major media agencies around the world removed the photograph from their servers and Middleton decided to sing the ‘mea culpa’ and publicly take responsibility: ‘Like many other amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing (… .) I want to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday may have caused.”
After several days in the media spotlight, a video came to light of the princes of Wales at a farmers’ market looking calm. The British Royal House confirmed that it was William and Catherine, but social networks were filled with speculation and theories arguing that this was not Kate Middleton.
Faced with this situation, the Archbishop of Canterbury has come out to defend the princess and has declared that conspiracy theories about her state of health and location are “old-fashioned village gossip” and that speculating on such topics is “incorrect.” ‘.
The religious gave his opinion at length for the Times Radio media and showed that he is faithful to the English royal family: ”I think we are obsessed by conspiracy and have little sense of the humanity of those who are trapped in the glare of the news (…) People should be allowed to be sick, have an operation, whatever it is, and live their lives in peace without people demanding they prove something every other day.”
Thousands of people around the world are wondering why Middleton has not recorded a reassuring video if he feels as well as he looks in the images from last weekend at the farmers market. In addition, investigations by different media in search of older photos to find more Photoshop retouching have called into question the word of the British Crown.
Be that as it may, the Princess of Wales has not given any type of personal explanation and remains in her position of not making her medical history public, as many of her followers demand on the Internet.
